  • Now unlistenable

    Was very good, but recently unlistenable because of massive advert overload. Read through adverts every few minutes. A common mistake but need to redress the balance.

  • Offers something different

    Fantastic pod with recently retired players who are still close to the game.

    Best part is that unlike other rugby podcasts, FTLOR are so fast to produce new pods/clips based on big rugby news. No waiting a week to hear a new take. Love the dynamism and the pod is my go to when wanting opinions on rugby news.

    Keep it up!
